Visitors to the West Coast or Richtersveld will find that a tour of the Diamond Coast will vastly enhance the experience of this unique mix of coastal plain and semi-arid inland areas. The route anchors around the Namakwa National Park and basic accommodation and campsites are available all along the route. A visit to Hondeklip Bay, Koingnaas, the Kleinzee Museum offers exhibits depicting the history of Namaqualand mines, shipwrecks, geological, paleontological and archaeological finds as well as a heritage display.

Attractions and Activities The allure of the Diamond Coast lies in its wild, untamed state. You can drive along this coast and stop along the beach for a walk and not see another soul. If you take time to explore you'll find an ecosystem that is unique and typical of this western coast of South Africa. Whales, dolphins and seals may be spotted.

There are many wrecks along the coastline including the Piratiny, a 5 000 ton Brazilian Steamer that ran aground in 1946, The Arosa, a 10 051 ton Cypriot Freighter and The Border and 285 ton British Motor Coaster and the Aristea Wreck near Hondeklip Bay. A GUIDED 4X4 TOUR, know as the SHIPWRECK TOUR can be taken if you'd like to explore these fascinating sights. There is also a coastal STRANDVELD 4X4 TOUR in the area.

Both tours are self-driven and require 4x4 vehicles with low range (essential on the Shipwreck Trail) and good ground clearance as well as some knowledge and experience in off-roading. Terrain varies between very soft sand and rocky outcrops. Difficulty rating would range between 2-3. Both tours depart from Noup Divers’ Hut, usually at 9am. The trails are situated on land owned by Transhex and therefore all tours need to be accompanied by an appropriately trained and accredited guide. Enquiries info@noup.co.za ... See more
